Heard 03:58
Takes a mind to feel the day is gone, but don’t go….. Don’t go saving those dogs away. Takes you everywhere Child beneath the stair Heart should never hide Dancer stay alive I was always taught To Be in Rome and Listen To the songs as they fall your way. Takes you anywhere Child will never scare Heart will never hide. Dancer stay alive And Listen Listen Chorus: Do you wanna be heard Do you wanna be heard Do you wanna be Sitting in the corner of your fantasy bar. Waiting for the fun to arrive. Wearing lots of colours. And there’s nowhere to dine. With your phenomenal Child! It’s your child instrumental

Seed 04:40
Started to drift again Twisted soul reveal a friend That place we both grew strong Where languages of love are born To the great solo sky And the night makes me cry Found a love Miss your days Nice to meet again oh Yea Chorus A toast to You Your days are sober As you grazed both your knees Blood spilled some Vampire feeds Don't tell me that the creatures of time Have beat a drum Man Sow the Seed Man Grow Indeed. Last time I testified Grew wings i learned to fly Some crazy took control Felt the pulse of rock 'n roll There's a brave kind of man With the scars cross his hand Plays a chord Plays it well Plays a strange guitar Broken every string so far A toast to You Your days are sober As you grazed both your knees Blood spilled some Vampire feeds Don't tell me that the creatures of time Have beat a drum Man Sow the Seed Man Grows Indeed Man Grows Indeed Man Grows Indeed Man Grows Indeed Man Grows Indeed This is the last word coming through I listen to This is the last light of the day I'll make it stay I'll make believe I'll grow Indeed I'll grow indeed I'll grow indeed

Cried myself to sleep as you walked on by On the edge of the world, dark inside, I’m upon my throne, but I’m no king Left my heart on the corner of Main street Inside a broken man is a beautiful boy Shocked the god above in his hotel of joy My immaculate self, mountain high Same ole dreams, same ole sky Why? Chorus: Cos my head is like an unmade bed And I keep falling out. My heart is a fading star full of trouble and doubt My life is an open door I fall through Well, Stoned easy, Stoned easy fool. Stoned easy fool. (Stone easy-stoned easy fool by 2) The back of my mind is a perfect scar A map of the world in a burnt out car. Top of the hill , I find you Nobody sees and nobody cries A Shattering love when a star must die If I lose you , I lose my mind Mind Mind Mind

Not quite a man Not quite a boy Just feelings and a screen I stand up Leave the world behind I don’t know what it means A lady looking for adventure The sweetness in her eyes I feel alone at best of times And now I feel alive CHORUS: Online Adventure Is crashing all my dreams And I failed to turn the volume off My latest crazy streams Some robots take it easy A feeling will depart They say that tears are raw Stainless steel and sparks I’ll show you my adventure My memory banks on Sweetheart navigate it Listen to each tone CHORUS: Online Adventure Is crashing all my dreams And I failed to turn the volume off My latest crazy streams Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa Ba ba ba baa CHORUS: Online Adventure Is crashing all my dreams And I failed to turn the volume off My latest crazy streams Da ba dum da dum ba Da bad dum Da ba dum da dum ba Da ba dum Da bad um Da ba dum da dum ba Da bad dum Da ba dum da dum ba Da ba dum Da ba dum Da ba dum

Time to rise Put your worries on the floor Let’s decide We’re gonna take this mess no more Winter’s gone No more shaking like a leaf Brace Yourself Paint the sky and take the lead For centuries We put our dreams out to the wind And we were born To love and celebrate our Kin For the sake Of all our pretty little minds Bring it on We’re making heroes in the wild Someone said “Nothing ventured nothing learned” Break it down Inch by inch and no return Listen please Grab your leaders by the mind I’m pretty sure This is what you’ll find Well I hope your horse comes in We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine In this Life The world is full of bad advice For heaven’s sake Don’t break your dollars for a dime Modern way Every lining has a cloud Every day Every Jesus has a crowd Someone said We’re gonna break this machine Bit by bit No regrets and no between For the kids For the women for the old People time Come in from the cold Well I hope your horse comes in We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine Well I hope your blood’s pumping We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine We’re gonna break the machine Alright All aboard Time to Break Down that door Look down the road Time to go Face it, Face it, Face it, Face it, Face it right on.

Daylight 03:55
Daylight changes in my headroom I fall over in myself. And the Dancers tap upon my ceiling I can’t tell if it’s a good day for the Dreaming Darling won’t you take this over As the world spins like a world possessed Temper traps me Need a healer For my Unrest Daves outside Puts the world to right Time won’t change us I don’t mind In the Boxcar There’s A Dreamer Take Off for A Ride Darling I am breaking Diamond My Faith in Life is on the line. Temper traps me Need a healer, Need a Sunrise. Chorus Daves outside Puts the world to right Time won’t change us I don’t mind In the Boxcar Theres A Dreamer Take Off for A Ride

Old Men Talk 03:13
Whispers-Streets of 40 sounds Gather….or Will we go to Ground? Living Where Life is Strange All day Turn out Fancy Lights that Play Parents outside-Everyone Says Youth cannot Express Their Noise after the Battle Verse 2: Together, Mortified and Torn Turn out Your pockets for the Board Take your Designs-Tatters and Threads Youth Cannot Advance Restored -Back in the Bottle Chorus: Listen to the Old Men Talk #4 Fail your Exam Word to the Head... Man Your Kids are a Mess spoken: Mushrooms in matchboxes Spill all your schemes Churchwalls are only A cold place to Dream Be Down in Yourself A rest by the grave A drinker, A Coward Be Saved

about

Seed is the second solo Album from Kildare based singer-songwriter, Col Patterson.
It features 11 songs and was recorded at Jam Studios, Co Meath, with Col’s longtime collaborator, Martin Quinn.
There is a real mix of styles from pop rock in ‘Break the Machine’ to synth-pop in ‘Online Adventure’ and gentler heartfelt tracks such as ‘Upside’ and ‘Heart Listens Out’.
The title track ‘Seed’ deals with trying to find a place of mental stability in a damaged world, growing and learning from mistakes.
‘Break The Machine’ is a song of frustration and anger at the status quo in world affairs.
‘Upside’ imagines a journey up a cold snowy mountain on a quest to find a place of love.
‘Coast is Clear’ is a pop rock feelgood track with a simple message of seeking joy in simpler things and Col’s own attempt to not look back, to take risks, and live a more fulfilling life post pandemic.
‘Stoned Easy Fool’ is another track that delves into Col’s addictive personality over the years and the frustration at slipping back into damaging habits.
‘Online Adventure’ was inspired by the modern addiction of how our devices are extensions of ourselves, for good or bad.
‘Heard’ grapples again with the challenges of instability and social anxiety while wanting to share music in a public way.
‘Brigid’s Land’ tries to encourage young people to show their best selves to the world despite knockbacks.
